That’s a class move by the family. No doubt it emulates from the man who was taken away from them much too soon.

A special preview of MLK events here in Delco

We had a very special ‘Live From the Newsroom’ last night. My thanks to three great panelists who offered their thoughts on the coming annual MLK Day of Observance on Monday and the legacy of the great civil rights leader.

Delaware County has a very special connection to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, who spent two years living in Chester where he attended Crozer Theoglogical Seminary.

That was not lost on my special guests, Twyla Simpkins, from the YES Center in Chester, and chairwoman of the MLK Commemorative Committee of Chester and Vicinity; Janet Riley-Ford, who heads the Boys and Girls Club of Chester and the Chester Youth Collaborative; and Cynthia Jetter, from Swarthmore College and also a member of the MLK Committee.

All three stressed how much is going on in the city and county this weekend to honor the legacy of Dr. King, and very much agreed with the movement to make the day a “day on” as opposed to simply a “day off.”

Hundreds will take part in a very special event slated for Sunday that’s been labeled “Pieces of Peace.”

The events will kick off at the Chester Boys & Girls Club, 201 E. 7th St. in Chester, at 9 a.m.

My thanks to all three women for a vibrant discussion of what to expect this weekend, and their firm belief that the legacy of Dr. King is really something that needs to be embraced 365 days a year, not just one day in January.

They also proved once again how much good is occurring in the city of Chester.

We sometimes lose site of that.

It’s good to be reminded.

A question for Wawa

Here’s today’s brain teaser. Maybe someone can help me out with it.

How is it that two Wawas, a little more than 10 miles apart, can sell gas with a dime difference in the price. My daily commute brings me down West Chester Pike out of Chester County on my way to Primos.

I’m always checking things along the way, among them the price of gas. At the Wawa on West Chester Pike in Westtown, the price of regular is $3.59. But when I get close to the office here in beautiful downtown Primos, the Wawa at Bishop and Baltimore Pike is dispensing the liquid gold for 10 cents less, at $3.49.
